Make your mark 2 8v sound like a VR6 for FREE

[Gozza]

Hi all,

If you want your Mark 2 to sound like a VR6 (sort of) when you accelerate, dont bother drilling your air box, do this instead.

Remove the lower half of the air box and you will notice a large bit of plastic that sticks out, using a flat head screwdriver use it to open all the plastic clips and then remove. Put back in and listen to the baby roar on full power 

I was well addicted when I had my 8v. Alternatively you can buy a K & N air filter but this is for all those who want to keep it stock looking.

In fact could some one do me a favour when they do this and take a photo of the 8v connection to the airbox. I have a K & N filter and need to know if it will fit on my new 8V GTI when I get it. I have a 16v at present as per my sig 

Any queries, gimme a shout.

I'm gonna have to say this, but there's no way in the world you'll ever get a 4 pot to sound like a VR...

Well I just thought I would mention it just in case, plus helps if some of the newer members are not aware.

the k+n comes with an adapeter plate i think that bolts onto the maf sensor

[silkyballs]

it sure does and if a job is worth doing then it worth doing?

Hmmmmm, you see that is the problem. I Bought it second hand from Ebay so it has no adaptor plate with it .
